I'm looking for some fine point paint markers, mainly for painting headlights, taillights, and side marker lights. Can someone post a link to products? I have Deco Color markers, but can't find those in orange and the red is too light-it's almost pink.

I've tried several. I use a 10/0 brush and paints as often as possible.

Sharpie makes a pretty good paint marker for silver. Don't forget about a Molotow liquid chrome pen.

As for other colors, I find that a pack of dollar store ultra fine markers is as good as anything. On a light colored car, just applying them does ok. On darker colored cars, a metallic silver sharpie gets applied and then when it dries, the other marker color applied over the top of the silver.

Give Zeyar paint marker a try if you are looking for more color options. One set will give you 18 markers with different colors. I love this paint pen because the colors are vibrant and accurate. Aside from the basic colors, you will also get pastel and metallic pens.
